SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police said a motorcyclist was rushed to a local hospital after a crash on the South Side.
The crash happened around 12:25 a.m. Tuesday in the 400 block of Fair Avenue, which is located near South Hackberry Street.
The motorcyclist, a 23-year-old woman, was heading southbound on the Interstate 37 access road prior to the incident.
At some point, according to a preliminary report, she pulled the motorcycle’s brake instead of the clutch.
The mix-up caused the motorcycle to skid and eventually land on the woman’s lower body, the report stated.
SAPD said the investigation remains ongoing.
